Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions threatened most by natural events owing to the highly vulnerable circumstances of its urban centres. Consequently, its cities are occasionally affected by one or more disaster types, exposing problems of governance and public policy in relation to risk management. The aim of this research is to investigate the factors that influence the design of post-disaster policies. It hypothesises that in those countries with modes of governance characterised by greater articulation between State and non-State actors, the design of post-disaster policies tends to be more coherent. Methodologically, the study proposes a comparative analysis of post-disaster policies in three countries of the region affected by earthquakes: Haiti and Chile (in 2010) and Ecuador (in 2016). The findings show that co-governance in Chile resulted in optimal post-disaster policies, whereas hierarchical governance in the cases of Haiti and Ecuador led to unsuccessful and misdirected post-disaster policies, respectively.

治理和灾后政策的设计：拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的比较分析

拉丁美洲和加勒比地区是受自然事件威胁最严重的地区之一，因为其城市中心的环境非常脆弱。因此，其城市偶尔会受到一种或多种灾害类型的影响，从而暴露出与风险管理相关的治理和公共政策问题。本研究的目的是调查影响灾后政策设计的因素。它假设，在那些治理模式以国家和非国家行为者之间有更多联系为特征的国家中，灾后政策的设计往往更加连贯。在方法上，该研究提出对该地区受地震影响的三个国家的灾后政策进行比较分析：海地和智利（2010 年）和厄瓜多尔（2016 年）。
